While cane sugar is 100% sugar, coconut sugar is only 78% sugar, meaning 22% is made up of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibers and even a few beneficial fatty acids. This special sugar is also rich in antioxidants and a special kind of fiber called inulin. Its superb taste is complex, similar to the earthy caramel-like sweetness of brown sugar.
Coconut sugar is a good source of minerals that many of us lack, like iron, zinc and potassium. Coconut sugar also contains B vitamins, Vitamin C and trace amounts of other minerals like copper, chloride and magnesium.
Coconut sugar contains a special fiber called Inulin. Like other fibers, inulin is not digested and instead benefits the body by acting as a prebiotic. A prebiotic is a nourishing food source for the healthy probiotic bacteria that live in the GI tract that helps them thrive. Inulin rich foods have also been shown to support healthier, more balanced blood sugar levels.
Research shows that coconut sugar has a glycemic index of 35, which isconsiderably low for a sweetener. The glycemic index is a measure of how much a particular food will raise blood sugar levels, with pure glucose setting the standard at 100. With any food over 55 considered ‘high glycemic’, an all-natural, great tasting sweetener in the low range is exceedingly rare. Compared to cane sugar with a nearly double glycemic index of 68, coconut sugar is metabolized slower, providing more steady energy and steadier blood sugar levels. You can have your (coconut sugar sweetened) cake and eat it too, in moderation of course!
